When you want a light, low sock for trail shoes

A quarter hiking sock with Wigwam’s light cushion label, a lightweight knit and a blend that varies by color.

Keep in mind: A quarter cuff stops around the ankle bone; check it clears the collar before you wear it in boots.

Closest in Wigwam’s range: the Bravura Quarter Lightweight. They differ in cushion and blend; the cuff, weight and size chart are the same.

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the unisex chart for this exact model. Use the size lookup or the whole Wigwam size chart to find the published range, then check the heel position, toe room and cuff in your footwear.

The maker does not give a heel-to-cuff measurement. Try the socks with your boots to see whether the cuff sits above the collar. See how sock heights differ.

Try the selected size with the shoes and insoles you plan to use. Added cushioning should not crowd the toes or distort the heel position. The footwear-fit checklist explains what to check.

Care for the exact pair

Turn socks inside out and wash in warm water, no hotter than 120°F (50°C). Skip bleach and fabric softener, and keep them away from denim and Velcro. Tumble dry on the lowest heat or lay flat to dry.

Use the care lookup for this model’s wash and dry directions. A general wool routine should not override instructions for a membrane, a two-layer construction or a specific treatment.
